Water Softeners

Ion-exchange softening for boreholes and hard municipal water.

Hard water — high in calcium and magnesium — scales pipes, heaters, boilers and appliances. A softener swaps hardness ions for sodium via resin beads, protecting every downstream fixture.

Zakafrica Water designs, supplies, installs and services these systems across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda.
